I lived with a sociopathic alcoholic for five years who was often unemployed. It made me a little crazy. You're living with a man who doesn't work and calls you names. He might be the reason you're acting so crazy, including why you're drinking too much. To be sure, you're doing some self-destructive, counter-productive things, but maybe trying to live with a less-than worthy man is at the root of it. So, instead of good answers to get him to stop mistreating you, why don't you just leave him. You don't need to support some guy who's freeloading off of you. It's incredibly stressful. You'll find out how much you're carrying him after you get rid of him. My boyfriend had me convinced I was the problem in so many ways, yet I have a perfectly normal life AND plenty of money now that I left him. Good luck.
Reply:Drinking always affects ppl in the way of anger,aggravation and all the symptoms you said you get.


If your bipolar there is something wrong with your brain.


You get mad outta nowhere, you tend to beat things alot, your always having headaches and you drink to get rid of the pain. Your always thinking about bad things like ppl that you love getting hurt. (but u cant help it) Its like the devil has taken over your body.





Drinking does cause anger, but if your positive you dont act the way you do when your drinking then your probably not Bipolar.





Your husband can not call you bipolar becuz your moms delusional.


Also, if he was really seriose about thinking your Bipolar I hope instead of yelling at you and cursen he actually takes you aside to sit down (when u havent dranken up) to talk about his concerns. If he were really seriose about you being Bipolar hed do so and want you to find help.





Like your first answer. I really inccurage you to go to the docter to get checked.


I dont want you to end up like someone i knew who got help when it was too late. I dont know you enough to give a 100% positive answer if your are or arent Bipolar
Reply:It's a waste of time to take anti depressants with alcohol. They cancel each other out as alcohol is a major depressant. You probably aren't bipolar if your mania is only brought on by drinking. Good luck to you.
Reply:Maybe you should quit drinking for a while. You're under stress and drinking isn't helping.
Reply:if welbutrin is like the meds i take and have taken for depression Prozac Zoloft effexor lexapro and seraquil it multiplies the effects of alcohol allot and I'm 200+ since ur half that it would make it worse i think. Since he is not a Dr he needs to stop diagnosing u BTW if u have bipolar which i might its not the end of the world the labels are meaningless anyway except if they can get u the right medication and or disability but ur working so don't need that. Good luck to u with quittin booze i did it its hard but worth it
Reply:If you have to get drunk and you are bipolar when drunk, than guess what? You must likely are bipolar. I would suggest getting help for the both of you. Mixing welbutrin with alcohol is a no no and you know it. You should not drink with anti-depressants. If your husband is really trying and not finding anything that is one thing, but if he is slacking than you have a right to be angry.





It looks like you are trying to blame alcohol as the cause and not the bipolar that you most likely are. I would go to see a shrink to verify. Stay away from your local doctor or a psychologist you need a psychiatrist. Good luck and I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but been there and finally getting help.
Reply:you might not be bipolar, but you certainly could be an alcoholic. you need to decrease your alcohol intake, especially because of how it affects your welbutrin. your welbutrin might not be working as well because of the alcohol (read the warning label) and that's why you're not yourself anymore. try to find a different way to deal with your anger and frustration rather than drinking. a doctor can help you with this.





good luck!
Reply:see your doctor. to confirm wether you are or not. you may want to slow down on the drinking too. thats some extra money for food and rent. try being more supportive of him. the economy sucks. a job is not just going to fall on him. and most people are crabby when they are hung over. instead of drinking, spend some quality time with him. if you really love him and care about him, you need to try what you can to make things better. I'm sure you dont want to lose your relationship.
Reply:alcohol does not help in the long run its a shor term solution try easing up on it and seek medical advice!! ok? try it!! tell your partner to get a job might help!!!x
Reply:Drugs and alcohol will cause this. Stop one or the other. (or both) Sounds like you're having major mood swings and shifts. When you're drunk, it's easy to blame him for not working and be mean to him. Solve the real problems.
Reply:The only way to know if you're bipolar is to see your doctor.
